For Accurate Measurements
How to Measure Correctly and Points to Remember
The AB-140M is a precision crafted device. Please adhere to the following to ensure continued good
working order.
Maintaining Precision
[Care]
• Never use hot water or substances such as benzene or solvents.
To clean, use a cloth moistened with water or a household detergent. Then wipe over with a soft, dry cloth.
Use the device under the same conditions and in the same position as
much as possible to track changes.
Readings are greatly affected by the level of hydration and position of the body.
Please use at the same time each day, under the same conditions and in the same
body position.
Avoid measuring after hard exercise.
May result in measurement errors. Please take measurements after sufficient rest.
Avoid measuring after over-eating or over-drinking, and when severely
dehydrated.
May result in measurement errors. For greater accuracy, avoid using directly after
waking up. Use at the same time on each occasion, at least three hours after eating.
Avoid measuring in locations of greatly differing temperature.
May result in measurement errors. When the equipment has been moved to a
location ±20ºC, allow to stand for at least 2 hours before using.
Wet the area of the abdomen to which the electrodes are to be
attached and ensure correct positioning.
To wet, lightly wipe the area with moistened cotton wool or a damp cloth.
Due to the influence of the state of the skin and body hair, etc., abnormally
high readings and measurement errors may occur if the device is used
without wetting the area.
Use in a stable location.
Errors in measurements may occur when the device is used in an unstable location.
Use an examination table, thin mat or other suitably firm surface
when measuring.
The use of soft surfaces or thick mats may result in measurement errors due
to the abdominal area sinking into the surface with resulting changes in
form.
